Hate me true

No mask on me

I play with open cards

You talk and stare

But I walk free

You want me sweet

But that’s not me

You want control

But I follow my heart

Hate me true — don’t love a lie

Better a harsh truth than a pretty lie

Hate me true — I’m who I am

Behind me everything’s falling

I don’t look back

That’s just how I’m made

I walk my path straight on

I’ll never be in between

I won’t pretend

You want control

I want the end

Hate me true — I won’t love a lie

Better a harsh truth than a pretty lie

Hate me true — I’m who I am

I don’t want your fake smile

I don’t need your game

I’m not your spark

I am the flame

Hate me true — it’s all I ask

I won’t hide behind a mask

You can’t love me halfway

Hate me true — or walk away !
